TOC bug -- rebuilds as all paragraphs, Level 3, on opening
Posted: 2014-08-06 21:13:11
HI,
I had made a Level 1 & 2 Outline for navigation, and then noticed today that the Outline now shows every single paragraph in the document (about 500 of them) as a separate level 3 entry -- and everything is at the same level. My level 1 and 2 Outline has disappeared.
I tried various things, and finally deleted this new spurious TOC, and added a few chapters back to TOC Level 1 as a test. They appeared normally in the Navigator, and also a couple of Level two subsections. Appeared normally also.
But when I closed and opened the document, shazaam, the 500 paragraph level 3 list is back and my new TOC entries are gone again.
So, I looked back through the historic drafts, and this weird 500 line TOC appeared from one draft to the next a couple of weeks ago. I hadn't noticed it, hadn't used the Navigator recently. But I made many many small changes in all drafts-- moving things, new styles --, so I don't know what caused it (if anything I did caused it).
Any thoughts? I'm hoping it's a setting, but doesn't seem too likely. File corruption?
